http://www.listsofbests.com/list/46402 This is Duane Byrge's list of Screwball Comedy films from 1934-1942, as listed and discussed in his work reviewing the genre. As he defines the movies, "A screwball comedy was at heart a love story. It's central romance was frequently instigated by an aggressive, even eccentric woman whose efforts to prod her more stodgy and conventional beau along the rocky road to the altar primed the comic mechanisms for a great deal of humor-by-embarassment. Improbable events, mistaken identities, and ominously misleading circumstantial evidence quickly compounded upon each other, albeit by seemingly logical progression, until a frantic conclusion in which even the impending marriage gives only faint promise of providing some whit of order as antidote to the previous narrative chaos," (Byrge, p.3). That said, I like Bringing Up Baby best.
